Think it's hard to make salted caramel brownies from scratch? Think again. It couldn't be simpler! The final result is an irresistibly sweet and slightly savory combination.

Ingredients

Salted Caramel Brownies

1 1/4 sticks of butter chopped

1 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 tablespoon unsweetened baking cocoa

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup flour

2 eggs

1/3 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 cup chocolate chips

For the topping

1 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup cold water

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3/4 teaspoon sea salt

Preparation

For the brownies: 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. In a double broiler, melt chopped butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt until fully liquid. Once the chocolate base is formed, take off the double broiler and set aside to cool for 3-5 mins (you don't want your eggs to cook!).

3. When cooled, add vanilla and stir. Slowly add flour and mix.

4. When you see no more flour add one egg at a time and mix.

5. Add chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (optional).

6. Line a 13-inch x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and pour brownie mix into the pan. Spread until the mixture evenly coats the pan.

7. Bake for 30-35 mins. Stick a toothpick in at 30 minutes to check to see if the brownies are done.
